Well

I like Mole. I usually find agreement, but in your characterization of Nadler, I would like to add one thing. His legislation the Protect The Troops and Bring Them Home Act, H.R. 455 was brilliant. It certainly quieted some of the anti-war activists in the 8th CD, but this could be one of the pieces of legislation that Nadler writes for that reason and that reason only.

Yes, it is brilliant but Nadler's office chose to release it on the Friday before the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend. There was a press release posted on his website, but there was no press conference. How many peace and anti-war groups call the 8th CD home? None of them were given a heads up about it or asked to get behind it. If Nadler was serious about moving the legislation he could have led a campaign. His well paid staff is made up of professionals, they know how to get out the word, but in this case HR 455 would have died on the vine, but some the very same groups that his office ignored eventually got behind the legislation and promoted the hell out of it.

It is true that Nadler looks like a progressive, sounds like a progressive the only thing he has problem doing is leading like a progressive. Nadler is more concerned with his seat on the judiciary commmitte, his chairmanship of the subcommittee than he is with taking
fulfilling his oath of office.

Nadler has plenty of room for improvement. A challenge from the left is what he needs. Let him call for impeachment hearings in his subcommittee and he will be what so many think he is, a fighting progressive.

Adam Sullivan gets the idea of what it means to be a patriotic citizen of the United States in this day and age. More action Bouldin less ego, that is what we need.

Nadler needs to live up to his oath of office. Nadler needs to follow Article 2 Section 4 of the Constitution as if he was the representative of the people of the 8th CD rather than being satisfied with being Nancy Peolosi's butt boy

With all the people AG Spitzer screwed in the business community - entire industries - can't you imagine a groundswell of folks out there eager to see him pay for his crimes?
